Xuan Son will not have the name in the March concentration of the Vietnamese team
It is expected that the Vietnamese team will meet in mid -March to prepare for this important match. There will be some changes in forces in this focus. Players with unstable form or not meeting tactical requirements will not be on the list. Striker Nguyen Xuan Son will certainly not have a name, because it is the time, he is in the second cycle of the injury recovery process.
